A Message from the Executive Director

Dear Residents, Family Members and Community Members,

The health and safety of our residents and employees are always our first priority. As the Jacksonville/Duvall area prepares for the possibility of hurricane landfall, the team members at Cypress Village are making necessary preparations for their safety.

Cypress Village is a shelter in place Community, and we historically have never flooded.  As a shelter in place community, we have our team members prepared to shelter in place with the residents at the Community, however residents are encouraged to evaluate their personal emergency plan and evacuate as timely as possible if planned to.

The following is a list of items in preparation:

  • Removed and/or tied down all loose items or structures
  • Provided reinforcement of main entry windows and entrances if deemed necessary
  • Stocked with sufficient levels of food, linens, water, fuel, hurricane supplies, and medications as needed for at least 7 days
  • Secured a generator and backup generator for the Health Center, kitchen, elevators, and emergency lighting
  • Vehicles fueled to maximum capacity
  • Additional ice and water on hand

We will be communicating via our “call/text system” and email updates. Please call the front desk at 904-223-6100 if you wish to be enrolled to receive these automated updates.

Further updates will be posted as they come available.

Thank you for your support –

Ty Morgan

Executive Director
